\nA three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Anwar Zaheer Jamali conducted the proceedings of the case.
\nSpeaking to media personnel, Khawaja Asif’s attorney Farooq H Naek stated that Khawaja Asif was still an MNA from NA-110 and that allegations could not be proven in the reports of the Election Commission and NADRA.

\nKhawaja Asif reacted to the news by thanking the Almighty and claimed that the Supreme Court had upheld the decision of the people of Sialkot.
\n“The prayers of the people of Sialkot were always with me,” he said.
\nThe Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) accepted the verdict issued by the Supreme Court with regard to NA-110 rigging case.
\n“We accept the decision of the Supreme Court,” said PTI spokesperson Naeem-ul-Haque. Naeem said that the case had proven to be successful in exposing the weaknesses in the electoral process. He said that PTI would take the government to account for destroying public institutions.
